#PLStories- Burnley assistant Ian Woan’s verdict after FA Cup shock defeat against Huddersfield Town #BURNLEYFC
IAN Woan admits Burnley need a win following their FA Cup defeat against Huddersfield Town.
Jay Rodriguez put the Clarets in front after 28 minutes, heading home after getting on the end of Ashley Westwood’s pass.
But the Terriers hit back through Josh Koroma, who slotted home from Sorba Thomas’ low cross 16 minutes from time.
And inside the final five minutes, Matty Pearson completed the turnaround with a clinical header.
Woan – who took charge of the side after manager Sean Dyche tested positive for Covid-19 - admits the result is hard to take.
“We need wins to bring a bit of a smile to the lads’ faces. They feed off wins,” he said.
“That’s what football is all about. The win today was needed. We planned really diligently and put out the strongest 11 possible.”
“It’s very disappointing. Huddersfield came out strong in the second half but the game should have been all over at half-time.
“If there had just been a little bit more belief it could have been all over.”
The Clarets are back in action on Saturday, January 15 when they welcome Leicester City to Turf Moor (KO 3pm).
